SpliTEE extends the split‑inference architecture of Slalom to large language models by protecting intermediate GPU computations with differential privacy rather than encryption. The authors show that masking intermediate representations is essential, as a prompt‑reconstruction attack can recover prompts with about 80% accuracy. Their global sensitivity analysis bounds the noise needed, and they demonstrate that SpliTEE on Intel TDX achieves near‑double the speed of fully CPU‑based inference and outperforms encryption‑based Slalom while maintaining higher accuracy.

LeanStream introduces a speculate‑and‑refine streaming framework that enables efficient on‑device inference of large language models by progressively refining computation, loading, and cache‑retention priorities using partial GPU results. This approach allows fine‑grained overlap between GPU execution and storage I/O, avoiding the trade‑offs of existing systems that serialize execution or incur redundant weight fetches. Implemented on mobile and embedded platforms, LeanStream reduces memory usage by 4.8× to 7.5× compared to prior work while improving token generation throughput by 1.6× to 2.1×.

arXiv:2607. 03089v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: HAR is increasingly expected to run continuously on edge devices, yet recent LLM-based methods remain hard to deploy: raw sensor prompts are long, cloud inference adds latency and privacy risk, and fine-tuned LLM pipelines turn general-purpose models into task-specific classifiers.
